In hour 1, we'll escape winter's chill with sizzling tunes from The Village People, James Reese & the Progressions, and The Hesitations, and jump-start the Carnival season with a set of New Orleans tunes, including a track from the late, great Big Chief Bo Dollis. In hour 2, we'll continue with the funk, soul, jazz, brass, and gospel, and break for a set hosted by late, great WERU DJ Charlie Oldham.
